This place is an easy walk from the Rialto Bridge - something to be said since it is so easy to get lost in Venice! It is very small and had the worst breakfast selection of any of out hotels on this trip (5). The front hall/check in area doubles as the breakfast room with 3 tables. Our triple room... more

This is the hotel I always stay at in Venice, its very small and during aqua alta the ground floor can be a bit wet...which is interesting at breakfast time (its actually quite funny) but all the rooms are on floors above!! I usually stay with my husband or with my Mum, and the only downside I can see is... more

We stayed at the Lanterna Di Marco polo for two nights, Friday through Sunday (10/10/08-10/12/08). We were greeted by Francesca, the owner, who was noticeably 8 months pregnant. She was very warm in greeting us and gave us a map to tour the city with. She noted our location on the map so that we may get back to the... more

Nice place to stay right in the middle of everything, 3 minute walk from the Rialto vaporetto stop. Clean rooms. Helpful staff A few negatives, Lugging a 45 lb piece of luggage up 3 flights of steps, no screens on windows = mosquito bites (lots) They only give fresh towels every second day. Overall I would consider staying again based... more

This is a little gem. My sister and I stayed at the hotel for several days and had a large room on the top floor. Yes, we did have to carry our huge bags all the way up to the top, but we managed to make it to the room without having a coronary! We had been in contact with... more

We have stayed in this cozy small hotel for a business trip to Venice. Staff is very friendly and helpful and was very attentive to any of our many requests about Venice (business itinerary, restaurants, shops and many others). We have had a nice room on top floor which had all conforts and amenities yu can expect in this cathegory.... more

If you're going to saty in the Island of Venice, you can1't find any better deal than this. Great location, just between the Rialto Birgde and Saint Marco's Square. Very cozy staff and a nice breakfast. However, I have to say that if youre going to stay more than two days in Venice, probably it would be better if you... more

We had a family holiday here over the new year. The staff were very friendly and helpful.Tthey came up with several suggestions of areas to visit that were off the normal tourist routes. The rooms were warm and cosy (It was very cold outside!). There was a welcome hot drink and cake waiting on our return from a busy day's... more
